Founder of Earth School, Staffordshire Moorlands:

I’m Natalie, a mother of two, a local Yoga teacher and lover of all things Nature based. For some time now I have felt the need for an alternative form of education for my children. A place to come to where we can learn practical skills together, enrich our understanding and love of Mother Earth and see how we as humans can live a more harmonious, reciprocal and sustainable life.

Our children are our hope for the future. A different way of life is calling and my heart felt wish is that Earth School will support the change that is needed. We can all make a difference, no matter how small.

This is me, trying to make a difference.

Do you look at your children and think about the future? What will the World look and be like when they are our age now?

As a parent, I’m sure you hear me in what I say. We all want the best for our children and will do whatever we can to secure their future. So come and join us, let’s be a positive force of action and see what we can create!

Who is Earth School for?

Families who want to live a more harmonious and sustainable life that is rooted in Nature but feel trapped and confused about how to make this happen in the modern World. Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands is here to inspire, share tools and knowledge and to build connections in a human to human way.  

“Become as Earth restorer rather than an Earth consumer. Each breath we take depends on the Earth. Our growing wisdom and love for the Earth is creating new healing cycles we can all be a part of.”

Aim of Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands.

All things are connected and have an effect. Here at Earth School, we aim to encourage a more reciprocal way of living through building deep relationships with Nature and the land on which we live. When we form emotional bonds we see plants, trees, creatures, rocks as the sentient beings they are and are therefore more likely to treat them with the respect and care they deserve. We start to live a life that sees the importance of giving back, even if it’s a simple thank you or a heart centred feeling. Through this we help to shift the whole back towards balance, which is where Nature thrives.

We too as humans are Nature, our bodies like balance, which is why we offer subjects in Self-care and body awareness. Fine tuning our skills to recognise what is nourishing us and what isn’t, can lead to lifestyle changes. Enhancing our sense of well-being and empowering us to take control of our health as we shift back into a more cyclical way of being, that is in tune with the seasons and cycles.

At the centre of Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands, lives community. We value human to human connection and nurture a supportive, kind and encouraging environment where we can all grow and learn together. We seek out people who are living amongst us, doing amazing work in Earth care and Self-care and we bring their gifts and knowledge to families, providing role models for our children and inspiring us to question, be curious and open to different ways of living as we envision a positive future for all.
